begging for bits :-)

[york33]

time for a long shot, anyone got a reverse light switch+actuating plunger for a 4-speed type 5 box gathering dust that they'll let me have for a shilling or two? Hens teeth spring to mind!

I think I have one but I replaced it as oil seemed to be seeping from it. Assuming I can find it you can have it if it would be any use to you

[york33]

Thanks for the reply Ian, yes I would very much appreciate it if you can find it, please let me know if you locate it? Mine is in many bits, it seems to have disintegrated! I've also stupidly lost the springy actuating plunger, I had it about 4weeks ago but since torn the garage apart looking and it's gone!

Watch it Ian, Dave's from Yorkshire, I bet he'll try to actually pay you in shillings... if his arms will reach to the bottom of his pockets that is

[york33]

I've got a boxfull of them, and another of sixpences, so don't joke.....

PS I'm noticing an unreasonably high % of people called Ian/Iain on here recently!

I think it's an age thing. There were hordes of Ians when I was at school.

Oddly enough we had a similar debate in the pub t'other night: there are lots of wimmin of a certain age called Jackie; never heard of a kid called Jacqueline for years. Too busy calling them Britney/ Chelsea/ Savannah I suppose...

I'll dig out my old 4spd box, hopefully the bits are still intact.

Thanks Iain, will be appreciated......

Typially the 'box is in the further corner of the shed, with a RV8, and engine crane, pallet trolley and a half build Beetle in the way. I'll get to it when i have an extra pair of hands to assist later this evening.

I've found the one I took out...however, underneath the car on the weekend and discovered the replacement is weeping even more than the old one did so I have a quandry . Is this keeping you off the road? Where are you located?

[york33]

Thanks for trying Ian, but I wouldn't want to rob you of bits you need for your car, thankyou

I'll hold out for Iain finding one.......

cheers

The Beetle's is blocked in by doors ,bumpers etc etc etc, until we get the new shed in a weeks time there NFC of getting to it sorry. I'll ask around the paddock at Cadwell this weekend the likes of Richard Moore might have one.

Sorry.

Thanks anyway, I'm pestering numerous Capri places at the moment......

Put me on the list! I have a nice wire hanging down and a hole in the box where a switch is supposed to go.I don't have an oil leak from it, so do I have no oil in the box !!!? If anyone knows the Ford part No or which vehicles it originally fitted (Capri 2.8i?/ Granny 2.8/V6 cortina? and years)I have access to ancient aftermarket cross references so may be able to shed some light (backwards!!) on this. I'll be @ BBWF on the Sat pm in a rather scruffy silver dhc.David H

[york33]

I'll let you know if I find any......

Is it an MOT failure??? Something seems to tell me it might not be?
